Talk about the Queen of music and you'll be losing everyone's attention if you fail to mention Beyonce. For over a decade, this lass has grown from entertaining a bunch of teenagers desperate to look cool, to entertaining millions of people across the globe.
As far as entertainment goes, Beyonce tends to have a list of celebrities whom she can "entertain" - male and female alike. As far as the men go, save for Jay-Z who is more than a partner to her, Beyonce tends to keep a closed list of male celebrities she can hang around with.
It doesn't mean they have to be seen out on friendly dates, but if both of them happen to be in the same room or venue, she can stretch a hand and say hi. On the flip side, there are male celebrities she'd rather walk into the next room to avoid.
Who are these? Read on to find out.
15 Kanye West - Close
